Quite a few wagons at the show this year. I attended on Saturday, but it is still on through Sunday till awards if some of you local guys want to attend. This year it was much more relaxed with the Rat Rods in the first building. Never happened before! Yeah, there were some high dollar rods as usual, but there were also some honest street machines that drove in and look like they are and were not trailer queens. Lots of Vendors this year. Almost double from last suggesting this is a successful show for them and will guaranteed this show continues. As for wagons, the very first one I saw was this cool as hell '55 Dodge with a Dodge Red Ram Hemi. Notice the under-dash 8-track player? The carts on the seat and in the player were not crap, they are great classic rock music. Plus there was a case in the back, same as I carry in my wagon. Would love to meet this guy, but he wasn't hanging around the car so.... Classic beat up long board on the roof. Those ropes look bad, but it fits the theme. Stolen from me... but whatever. My favorite car of the show.
Other cars at the show... 1935 Ford Depot Hack. I have no clue what this is other than a Chevrolet. Possibly a Chevrolet truck or panel converted to a Woody. The construction quality was pretty darned good for a custom. So if anyone has further info, please post. Couple of '49 - '51 Fords. 1964 Ford Another of my favorites, a 1938 Ford Woody! Loved it and really want to build a model of one some day. 1957 Chevrolet 210 2-door. More to come....
Pretty much the bulk of all the cars were Chevrolet. That includes the wagons, so here are a bunch... Respectfully submitted, Jairus
The Chevrolet truck was a Suburban, but for the life of me, I cannot remember if the late '40s-early '50s rigs had a woodside body from the factory. It certainly looked great, though. And I remember either AMT or Monogram had a '34 Woody kit (I built one), so using the wagon body to scratchbash a '38 would be a good start. Admittedly, that front end is the most unique of the late '30s Fords.
Looks like a great show. I have heard in the past that there were aftermarket companies that would build the late 40s - early 50s Chevy truck woodies. But I do not believe it was a factory option. Thanks for sharing the photos Jairus.
